  • Does enhanced oil recovery polymer promote microbial growth and accelerated corrosion?
  • Jia, Ru., Yang, D., Rahman, H. B. A., & Tingyue, Gu. (2018). An enhanced oil recovery polymer promoted microbial growth and accelerated microbiologically influenced corrosion against carbon steel.
  • Which polymers are used in enhancing oil recovery?
  • PAM and HPAM are the most extensively used polymers in enhancing oil recovery due to their customized properties and wide availability.
  • What is high molecular weight polyacrylamide (PAM)?
  • Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative High molecular weight (106–3 × 107 Da) polyacrylamide (PAM) is commonly used as a flocculant in water and wastewater treatment, as a soil conditioner, and as a viscosity modifier and friction reducer in both enhanced oil recovery and high volume hydraulic fracturing.
  • How does enhanced oil recovery work?
  • It works by increasing the viscosity of the injected water, thus improving its mobility and oil recovery. However, during such enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations, it also produces a huge quantity of water alongside oil. Depending on the age and the stage of the oil reserve, the oil field produces ~ 7–10 times more water than oil.
